Post here to shower the ImageMagick developers with praise or discuss how you could have done a better job if you developed ImageMagick. Or talk about how Photoshop is better than ImageMagick. Even complain about how no one answered your postings in the Users forum. Venting and musings welcomed here.

I wish to thank the developers and forum administrators for their great effort and support. I have been attempting a "poor man's" movie restoration system, and partly thanks to the ImageMagick folks, I now have something to show for it. I am using Imagemagick to convert DNG raw files out of my digital camera, and create working files for frame sequences. Film sequences often fade to black, and I was experiencing "fade to noise". You provided a critical explanation to modify delegates.xml, to control the behavior of dcraw. Movies require tens of thousands of images. Multiple instances of imagemagick allows for my PC to be fully utilized in the conversion of DNG to working jpg image sequences.

They were 5208 x 3477 raw DNG image files. The frames were intentionally over-captured. The rendered film was properly cropped to present the correct aspect ratio with the maximum true image area possible to conserve.
